FRWI

Our Story

Film Recycling Works International S.A.L. (FRWI) is a leading recycling company in Lebanon.
Established in 2001, it is the only factory in Lebanon who can recycle the post-consumer LDPE plastic bags collected from the capital Beirut, and its suburbs.

Using custom made machines, and employing over 50 workers, for sorting and handling the production line, FRWI has a monthly production capacity of around 200 Metric Tons, thus saving the environment around 4,800 Metric Tons of plastic bags waste per year.

Our Mission

The company export over 70 % of its production, and sells locally around 30%.
Most of the local clients are factories for manufacturing black irrigation pipes, or factories for manufacturing of plastic bags for waste bins.
The countries of exports are mostly India and some African countries (Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mali…). The granules are mostly used in the manufacturing of “Bache noire” (thick large sheets of plastic used to dry the cacao and any other crops).

Production Cycle

The process starts by purchasing the Post-consumer Plastic Bags, which are Collected & Sorted from Waste Management Plants.
Once the material arrives at FRWI’s factories, specialized workers perform a final sorting of the material, further removing large impurities, and sorting the material by color.

The sorted material is then processed through our Production line, first by Shredding followed by Dry & Wet cleaning, and then Drying using the state of the art machines for this process.
The final step consists of Pelletizing the washed material, using Tecnova extruders, producing the final LDPE Plastic Granules “film-grade”.
Due to the high level of impurities in Post-consumer Waste, around 50% of the production is “wasted” during this process (i.e. 1 Metric Ton of Plastic waste produces around 500 Kg. of film-grade granules).

Our Products

All our products are film grade, extruded using a REPS filter (wire mesh 110 especially used for film grade repro).

The main colors of the granules are:

Natural (honey) color (60%)
